2002 saw the release of her third single, which contains the Ending Theme of the anime series The Twelve Kingdoms (十二国記), with the tracks 「月迷風影」 and 「十二幻夢曲～孤月蒼夜」.
In 2004, she joined Reggae Disco Rockers as the main vocalist, and has since released three albums with them.
She returned to solo work in 2005, and her single 「Life Goes On」, containing the second Ending Theme to the popular anime series Gundam SEED DESTINY, reached third place on the weekly Oricon charts.
Recently, she was featured in Jazztronik's new album, GRAND BLUE, with a song called "Sanctuary". Currently she is working on her solo project for next year (2008).

Just the way you want it
What¥s done is done, so don¥t you look back
The past is gone and you know it
(It¥s up to you now, enjoy yourself)
I¥ll promise you nothing but I will show you
(Action speaks louder than words)
We both know we need each other
So won¥t you come back to me, baby
(Why don¥t ya get on up now)

There¥s no one eles
You know that it¥s true
I¥ll give you my love util death do us part
If I had to live my life over again

Don¥t you know?
I am here all for you now
I sparkle with your love
See me sparkle with your smile
You keep me rockin¥, twenty four-seven
I feel like I¥m in heaven
(Livin¥ in a crazy world, you bring me joy)
You make my life complete, and even sweeter
Like funky music makes this world a whole lot better
(Like good old soul records)
Let me count the way I love you
There¥s no one else
All I want is you
I¥ll show you my love from the very soul of my heart
If I had to live my life over again
I¥d do it just to be with you
